>I agree with you with the lone exception of needing to place a user in a textbox/combobox that sits in a toolbar control. As an example, consider the Style or Font controls found in MS Word's toolbar. There are keystroke shortcuts that move keyboard focus to these toolbar controls to change style, font name, and font size (Ctrl+Shift S, F, P). I would like to offer the same keyboard functionality for specific toolbar controls as well.
